JD Vance, a Catholic convert who occasionally has sparred with church leaders over their criticism of the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown, said in an interview on Fox News Channel on Monday night that the president’s social media post with the Jesus-like image was “a joke.”

“Of course, he took it down because he realized a lot of people weren’t understanding his humor,” Vance said.

He repeatedly dismissed the focus on the president’s fight with the pope, saying it “isn’t particularly newsworthy” and there will be disagreements from time to time with the Vatican.

But Vance also suggested the pope should stay in his lane.

    Wasn’t it supposed to be a doctor? What’s the “joke” then?

    These morons aren’t just criminals and liars.

    They are also criminally bad at lying.

    So what you’re saying is he’s a pussy who backs down when he doesn’t have everyone’s full support?

    People understand that Trump has no sense of humor. This episode of megalomaniac narcissism was further proof of that.

    Then why did Trump himself tell people that it was actually a picture of a doctor, to show support for the Red Cross?
    That doesn’t sound like a joke.

      No no, don’t even give him that credit of sanity. He didn’t say it was to show support for the Red Cross, he said it was him as a doctor who had to do the Red Cross. Not show support of the Red Cross. Not a doctor with the Red Cross. Not helping people like they do in the Red Cross.

      Had to do the Red Cross. You know, as if it were some action or procedure someone could perform.

      Even when criticizing this dumbass, it’s like we can’t help but whitewash his deteriorating mental status.

    Take it from me guys, Donald is not evil, nor is he exhibiting signs of mental decline. And it’s definitely not both of those things! He’s just uhh… Too funny. Yeah, that’s it! You didn’t get it. You’re the problem here.

    There is absolutely no evidence to suggest Trump has a sense of humour.

    He is cruel, lacking in empathy, intelligence and wit.

    All the basic skills required for humour. And he’s a cunt.

    He has no sense of humor. He’s just a bitter angry troll, like he always has been from birth.

    I dunno what people are so upset about. I just came from the doctor’s office. The nurse called my name and the doctor then descended from the sky, wearing his doctor robes and shawl, hand glowing brightly as he stuffed a thermometer up my ass.

    IS THAT NOT HOW ALL DOCTORS LOOK AND OPERATE.
